We start this article with Adrian "Amadi_017" Mateos, who was the WCOOP 75-H: 1,050$ NLHE (6-Max) champion with 329 entries and a prize pool of $329,000. However, winning this tournament was no easy feat, with names like Jonathan "Proudflop" Proudfoot, Ole "wizowizo" Schemion, Péter "Belabacsi" Traply and Benjamin "Spraggy" Spragg sitting across from him. Mateos took home the WCOOP title and $61,643 in prize money. Ole Schemion also appeared in the Sunday Million where he took home $64,193 for 4th place.
Adrian Mateos also made it to the final table of the WSOP Online side event, where there was no bracelet waiting for the winner. The Monday Super HR with a buy-in of $10,300 brought 85 entries and a prizepool of $850,000. The top 10 players included names like Samuel Mullur, Adrian Mateos, Chris Brewer and Joao Vieira. Joao took second place with $153,071, Chris Brewer earned $119,377 for third place, Adrian Mateos took 4th place with $93,100 and Samuel Mullur earned $20,947 for 10th place.
We'll stick with Samuel Mullur, as he was the winner of the WSOP Online side event, namely the $3,000 Prime Time tournament with 46 entries. Samuel earned $39,282 for the win.
However, Mullur also battled it out for the WCOOP title, in the $1,050 NLHE Deep Stack with 227 entries and a prizepool of $227,000. Samuel "go4gunners" Mullur finished in 3rd place for $25,743. That's still not all for Mullur though, and we also found him in the $2,100 NLHE Sunday Warm-Up with 239 entries and a prizepool of $478,000. He earned $8,645 for his 12th place finish here. Those three tournaments netted him $73,671. However, Leonard "Grozzorg" Maue also played in the latter tournament, earning $40,762 for his 4th place finish.
Moving on to the success of Patrick Leonard, who took home handsome money from two WSOP Online tournaments. First, he finished third in the $5,250 Bounty Hunters Super HR with 51 entries and a prizepool of $255,000, taking home $45,310. He then played another $1,500 Sunday Main Event HR with 470 entries and a prizepool of $669,750. Here he finished in 4th place with a prize of $47,826. With these two tournaments, he made $92,736.
Next up is last year's WSOPE Main Event winner Max Neugebauer, who battled for a bracelet in the WSOP Online $1,050 Mystery Bounty PLO with 1,069 entries and a prizepool of $1,069,000. Max took home $90,136 for his third place finish along with the bounty.
Mikita Badziakouski took home the most money from the $5,250 Deepstack HR, despite not being the winner. After the deal, he finished in second place and earned $75,162.
